St Barnabas House

St Barnabas is a charity providing specialist palliative care within the hospice and the community.

St Barnabas House is the hospice for the Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield areas. Our care extends well beyond the hospice walls, with nurses visiting patients and families at home. While others might need to stay at the hospice to get help with complex symptoms. For those dealing with the impact of a recent diagnosis, there are opportunities to meet others who are on a similar journey. They can t

ake part in a range of activities from relaxation and exercise classes to gardening, art, cooking, and talking groups - helping them to live well for longer. And, when the time comes, St Barnabas is there at the end of people’s lives so they can die with dignity in a warm and caring environment. It's thanks to the generosity of the local community that all of this is possible. It costs nearly £10 million every year to provide hospice care for local people, with only 22% of this coming from government funding. You can show your support by fundraising, volunteering, taking part in a challenge event, playing the St Barnabas House lottery, or leaving a gift in your Will.

Derrick had a big personality and a heart of gold. He believed deeply in people and gave countless hours to volunteering.

When Derrick was diagnosed with bile duct cancer, everything changed quickly. The man who had always looked after others now needed others to look after him.

During the final week of his life, Derrick was cared for on the inpatient unit at St Barnabas. This gave him and his family the space to treasure precious moments together. To sit by his side, hold his hand and reminisce. To simply be a family. 💙

One day, Derrick’s six-year-old granddaughter Ariella came to visit. She pulled a chair up to his bed, climbed up, gently stroked his cheek and said: “Grandad, I know you can’t speak to me, but I just want you to know that I love you and I will miss you.”

Moments like this matter so much. We help families through the hardest days of their lives, allowing them to live life to the full in the time they have. 🌻

Will you help us continue to support families like Derrick’s and make precious memories possible?

💛 During Volunteers’ Week, we’re sharing one more story from the amazing people who make our work possible.

Today, we hear from Ranil, one of our volunteer counsellors:

“As a counsellor, I decided to volunteer at St Barnabas House, as the combination of professional support, supervision, and the chance to work with people at such significant moments in their lives really drew me in. I feel genuinely appreciated and supported in my role. Volunteering here makes me feel as though I’m giving something meaningful back to the community. Being able to offer support at such a vulnerable time in people’s lives feels like a real contribution and privilege.”

💬 Ranil, volunteer counsellor, St Barnabas House

To every single one of our volunteers, thank you for everything you give. You make such a difference 💫

💛 As Volunteers’ Week continues, we’re shining a light on the incredible people who give their time to support our hospices.

Your time, kindness, and support make such a difference every single day. Because of you, we can continue to provide compassionate care and create meaningful moments for patients and their families ✨

Today, we hear from Alison:

“I love volunteering because I enjoy gardening and get a huge amount of pleasure from seeing the gardens at St Barnabas look lovely. Hospice care matters to me because I have seen what it does for people and their families. We see patients and family members out in the gardens, and we know it is so important to have that special, quiet space. I recommend volunteering to others because it helps you feel part of a team and people really appreciate what you do.”
